How do I contact the shelter about Nala?

Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nala on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.

Can I adopt Nala if I live in another country?

Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.

Is Nala already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?

Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.

What happens if Nala isn't the right fit?

Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nala and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.

Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?

TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.

Nala

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Mixed breed, likely medium to large in size. Social behavior learned early in a mixed group; cats: no problem. Current location: Sofia Animal Shelter (Bulgaria). Reason for adoption: Found dog. The siblings were abandoned in an industrial area and left to their fate. Fortunately, they were found in time and brought to safety. Since Daniela's shelter is already bursting at the seams, not all puppies could be taken in. Three of them are therefore lovingly cared for by friendly animal rights activists. So now all are protected and well cared for. Now the three are ready for the next big step in their lives. Nala is one of them ❤️ The black puppy girl and her two brothers are vaccinated and chipped. What they now still lack is the most important thing: a loving home or a foster home where they can finally arrive ❤️ So far they only knew the struggle to survive. Now they should experience what it feels like to be loved, protected and welcome. Maybe your heart is beating for one of these little balls right now. Maybe you can give them the chance at a happy dog life. Please remember that they will of course grow and not stay small. A first dog would be great where the little one can orientate herself at first. But it doesn't have to.

Rasse: Mischling, vermutlich mittelgroß bis groß werdend. Verträglichkeit: Lernt schon früh Sozialverhalten in einer gemischten Gruppe; Katzen: sollte kein Problem sein Derzeitiger Aufenthaltsort: Tierheim Sofia (Bulgarien) Abgabegrund: Fundhund Die Geschwisterchen wurden in einem Industriegebiet ausgesetzt und ihrem Schicksal überlassen. Zum Glück wurden sie rechtzeitig gefunden und in Sicherheit gebracht. Da Danielas Shelter bereits aus allen Nähten platzt, konnten nicht alle Welpen dort aufgenommen werden. Drei von ihnen werden deshalb liebevoll von befreundeten Tierschützern versorgt. So sind nun alle geschützt und gut aufgehoben. Jetzt sind die drei bereit für den nächsten großen Schritt in ihrem Leben. Nala ist eine von ihnen ❤️ Das schwarze Welpenmädchen und ihre beiden Brüder sind geimpft und gechippt. Was ihnen jetzt noch fehlt, ist das Wichtigste überhaupt: ein liebevolles Zuhause oder eine Pflegestelle, in der sie endlich ankommen dürfen ❤️ Bisher kannten sie nur den Kampf ums Überleben. Nun sollen sie erfahren, wie es sich anfühlt, geliebt, beschützt und willkommen zu sein. Vielleicht schlägt genau jetzt Euer Herz für einen dieser kleinen Knäuel. Vielleicht könnt Ihr ihnen die Chance auf ein glückliches Hundeleben schenken. Bitte denkt dran, dass sie natürlich noch wachsen und nicht so klein bleiben. Ein lieber Ersthund wäre natürlich toll wo sich die Kleine anfangs dran orientieren kann. Muss aber nicht.

About Nala

What life with Nala looks like

Nala is a small puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Pföttchenretter mit Herz e.V. in Leichlingen.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.
